Fall Retrospect

Its been a while since I've posted, sorry. It's been a fun fall, here are a few photos that were saved from the cutting room floor.

A few deer in the backyard enjoying a little sun. Deer season opens soon, too bad you can't hunt on the island, we have waaaay to many of these guys.




Sue acting surprised at her surprise 40th birthday party.

Care and an alaskan dogsledder.


Grandpa D and a cranky Spartan.



Coop comtemplating life, leaves and too big mittens.


A toasty fire that took at least two hours to get rolling. Jake ran out of gas but paint thinner worked alright.

Co-pilot Pete on the way to Port Huron to stash the Supra.

Its that time of year again. Backin er in one more time for a little well-deserved hibernation. Broken drive shaft and all. See you in the spring...

MSU Homecoming

We made the trek up to Lansing for Homecoming again this year. Heres a pic of Andrew in uniform.

My two dads ;) Or David & Matt Cottone being employed.
Big congrats to Morgan & Derek!

The morning after. Not sure if the girls planned these pjs or???

North Lake in the Fall

Up north any where in the fall rules. Glennie is not exempt. Either is Mace's love of hats ;)


2 more weeks & this shot will be awesome.

This is Pete's hat (or maybe a cooler), as long is it involves food or ice he's into it. And if it's both, WooHoo...

Pt. Mouilee.

So a coupla weekends ago week took the toon down to the Pt. Mouilee festival on Lake Erie. It's basically a bunch of duck hunters gettin ready for the season. We half-heartedly promoted our camo wraps and enjoyed a great day on the water.


Here is Team Ranka in all their glory. And yes little Andrew is going to be one tall drink of water like his old man.




Here is the part where I thought Anthony & Tasha were going to have a new pup.

Best use of old truck parts.

Andrew contemplating life, boats & girls.

And of course gratuitous pics of the Team ReBoat Toon parked front & center...

Lastly, our tax dollars hard at work with the DNR's new whip. It looks more like Knight Rider than a glorified meter maid, but whadda we know. We do know that we are a little jealous. Hmmm... A-Team Yukon?
